    Hi, Im new to this thread but Ive been using Loopy casually for years. One thing Ive always wanted in a looper is to not have to mess with it live at all. I just want to play my instruments and have the looper automate the loops for me. ZenAud.io does this well but its not for iPad (and its also just become open source abandonWare).

    1. Where is the code for that? I just thought they went outta business.

    2. Given the heavy MIDI extensibility already in Loopy currently, you could accomplish this with a midi control track sending midi msgs to Loopy from another app (I ain’t saying it’d be pretty, but it is totally doable).

  • @Michael this app is very promising. I wonder if the app will have multiple output?

    Yep!

    You're right, they did. I own it but never use it because I dont like the visual aesthetic of a laptop. iOS feels more musical to me. Laptops feel like work. Its too bad they didnt prioritize that over windoze.

    Yikes. I'll wait.

    Wow, I can’t wait for it to be released 😊

  • OMG finally...(or almost :D )
    GREAT NEWS, thanks !

  • Tell me about it! Would you believe it's been over 6 years? 6 years, and one small human's entire lifetime. Ridiculous.

    Sounds like it’s close!.

    @Michael you need to ship before the vaccines reach herd immunity... or change this thread's title.

    Haha!

    Is release particularly imminent? I know this is the question you don’t ask but just roughly are we months or years away?

    I would say months, definitely sub-six, probably-maybe-hopefully sub-three. Beta within several weeks.

    Can we crowd fund a house keeper and a chef so it will be one month? :smile:

    Haha, mostly a babysitter would do it, but then I'd miss the little blighter!

  • Will the new Loopy allow browsing and previewing loops on USB drives?

    What do you mean “fund”?. I’ll do the cooking!.

    Yep, through Files

    Get on that one. Then you guys can spend all the time you want together and we can have our toys sooner.

    Quick question for you guys: "Capture Recording", "Retrospective Recording", or "Look-Ahead Recording". What name do you prefer? That's the mode where Loopy's always recording, and triggering a record will capture the last n bars.

    None of these would have made me guess what the function actually does. 🤷 Would something like "Always-on Recording" be too descriptive for your taste?

    That's not bad - although I don't feel it's quite descriptive enough either, as the critical part is that triggering it will lock in the recording, rather than it truly recording all the time.

    I was trying to find already-in-use terminology - I notice that Logic Pro uses "Capture Recording", and Cubase, Traktion/Waveform, Samplitude and Live it's "Retrospective Record". I think I probably need to use those...

    I'd vote for "Time Machine Recording".
    We can't have the future now so it must be the past.

  • Hehe, cool name, but I think it's gotta jive with the existing platforms' terms, so people can recognise it. I think given that Live uses "Retrospective", and Live shares a big crossover with Loopy Pro's prospective audience, I'll adopt that...

  • I think ‘capture recording’ would be best out of the three.
    Retrospective isn’t a very common word - some people may not know what it means.
    To me ‘look ahead recording’ is confusing - when planning to record anything people are always looking ahead to consider what they are about to record so people might think eh? How can I not look ahead to record?

    How about ‘capture back recording’? or maybe ‘snatch back recording’?

  • @Michael said:

    I think that’s a good way to go.

  • I’d say Retrospective, probably because I’ve used Live more than other DAWs. Your instinct to follow your prevailing market segment makes sense.

    Retrospective +1
    To me LookAhead sounds like something it’s doing but not an action.
    If I press a button named “LookAhead Record” it’s telling me it’ll start doing LookAhead recording, not that it’s been doing it. Whereas “Retrospective record” is more descriptive ... actually ... “Retrospective Capture”?. You’re not really recording, you’re capturing what’s already been recorded.

  • Retrospective is the only single word that says what it means in this case. Period. Gotta be that.

  • If you want something new doesn't “look back recording” make sense? Or “last loop recording”/ “previous loop recording”

  • edited April 2021

    Capture Recording matches the upcoming Capture Midi from Atom2 which is the same thing for... you’ve guessed it... midi.

    Retrospective Recording is the best description of the functionality - I would be able to guess what that does. And I’m a sucker for alliteration.

    Tough one!

  • The (MIDI sequencer) Toraiz Squid calls this function ‘Time Warp’.
